Everything about this phone is phenomenal, thanks HTC! It does everything I need it to and more, it can take stunning pictures and display them on its crystal clear screen, music is also great with its build in beats audio and free beats headphones and the every day usage is brilliant!

I have this phone for a few days, and have tested it a lot. Here is my opinion on it.
The first amusing thing is the display. It's so colorful and bright!
The sound system is shocking great! If you're a music fan, you're gonna love this.
The camera is really good. Some noises in some pictures may be present, but it's all right. Comparing with an HTC Desire, this one's camera is a pro :) plus the HD video recording!
The UI speed and everyday usage and Internet satisfy my needs and I'm using my friend a lot!
Battery lives pretty long for a smartphone with such big display.
The only con for me, is the feel of it in hand. The back plastic is uncomfortable, especially comparing with my old Hero...
